88 n/a has a miss

i've checked all the vacuum lines they are good no cracks or missing lines. cleaned the injectors, put on new plugs and plug wires, regrounded the motor and the battery. changed the coils and checked compression. im running out of things it could be. any pointers??

the EGR valve can cause a miss. you can pull it, cleant it and test to see if it holds vaccum. also, i know this will sound elementary, but did you replace you fuel filter? when are you experiencing the miss?

Fuel system problem...clogged/dirty fuel filter. Clogged/dirty fuel injectors. If you've already eliminated vacuum leaks, plugs and plug wires.
